ROM Hack Samurai Shodown mod research

[cucholix]

So, I was trying to increase resolution in Samurai Shodown, but haven't found any setting that help. The game uses Unreal v7, you need those files in your v7/2/3/ folder to unpack/pack

The file containing config files is pakchunk0-Switch.pak it's 947mb
Attached a patch I created (although it doesn't make any difference in-game)

What are the names of the files that were in the Paks folder initially?

 

[Kirby567fan]

I think you got the naming wrong.

I think you got the naming wrong.

When unpacking it generated 2 folders: Engine and Onion, both have Config folders. I’m not at home rn, back in about 12 hours (ugh), can recheck later.

I was talking about the pak files that were in the Paks folder in romfs.

Pretty sure the name is correct, but can double check when I get home

 

[cucholix]

@Kirby567fan double checked and the name of the pak is correct pakchunk0-Switch.pak the path is also correct

RomFS/SAMURAI SHODOWN v0 (01002DF00F76C000) (BASE)/Onion/Content/Paks/pakchunk0-Switch.pak

Into layeredFS format:

01002DF00F76C000/romfs/Onion/Content/Paks/pakchunk0-Switch.pak

ReverseNX + GPU overclock works pretty well for boosting the resolution while undocked. Tried that per chance?

Yeah, handheld mode looks pretty nice with reversenx, but docked looks a bit washed out (some backgrounds)

Try naming the pak file you made to pakchunk0-Switch_p.pak .

 

[masagrator]

And you are 100% sure no other paks contain config files?

Yeah, I extracted pakchunk1-Switch.pak too but it only contains game assets.

Worth noting that gcdump only allowed to dump the cartridge data, it throw me an error when tried to use the update in SD...

@Kirby567fan had any luck on your end?

Still no idea, did you test repacking the whole pakchunk0-Switch.pak file instead of only the configs and then use layeredfs to replace the og one with the edited one?

Nope
